Specifies the text to be placed at the bottom of each output
file.
If you want to use html you have to put it in a CDATA section,
eg. <![CDATA[Copyright 2005, <a
href="http://www.mycompany.com">MyCompany,
Inc.<a>]]>
See bottom.

Detect the Java API link for the current build, i.e.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/ for
Java source 1.4.
By default, the goal detects the Javadoc API link depending the
value of the source parameter in the
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin
(defined in ${project.build.plugins} or in
${project.build.pluginManagement}), or try to compute
it from the javadocExecutable version.
See Javadoc
for the default values.

Detect the Javadoc links for all dependencies defined in the
project. The detection is based on the default Maven conventions,
i.e.: ${project.url}/apidocs.
For instance, if the project has a dependency to Apache Commons Lang
i.e.:

Detect the links for all modules defined in the project.
If reactorProjects is defined in a non-aggregator way,
it generates default offline links between modules based on the
defined project's urls. For instance, if a parent project has two
projects module1 and module2, the
-linkoffline will be:
The added Javadoc -linkoffline parameter for
module1 will be
/absolute/path/to/module2/target/site/apidocs
The added Javadoc -linkoffline parameter for
module2 will be
/absolute/path/to/module1/target/site/apidocsDefault value is: true.

Enables deep copying of the **/doc-files directories
and the specifc resources directory from the
javadocDirectory directory (for instance,
src/main/javadoc/com/mycompany/myapp/doc-files and
src/main/javadoc/resources).
See docfilessubdirs.
Since Java
1.4.
See javadocDirectory.

Specifies the path to the doclet starting class file (specified
with the -doclet option) and any jar files it depends
on. The docletPath can contain multiple paths by
separating them with a colon (:) or a semi-colon
(;).
See docletpath.

Specifies the encoding name of the source files. If not specificed,
the encoding value will be the value of the
file.encoding system property.
See encoding.
Note: In 2.4, the default value was locked to
ISO-8859-1 to ensure reproducing build, but this was
reverted in 2.5.

Separates packages on the overview page into whatever groups you
specify, one group per table. The packages pattern can be any
package name, or can be the start of any package name followed by
an asterisk (*) meaning "match any characters".
Multiple patterns can be included in a group by separating them
with colons (:).
Example:

Specifies the path of an alternate help file path\filename that the
HELP link in the top and bottom navigation bars link to. Note: could be in conflict with <nohelp/>.
The helpfile could be an absolute File path.
Since 2.6, it could be also be a path from a resource in the
current project source directories (i.e.
src/main/java, src/main/resources or
src/main/javadoc) or from a resource in the Javadoc
plugin dependencies, for instance:

<helpfile>path/to/your/resource/yourhelp-doc.html</helpfile>

Where path/to/your/resource/yourhelp-doc.html could be
in src/main/javadoc.

Sets the absolute path of the Javadoc Tool executable to use. Since
version 2.5, a mere directory specification is sufficient to have
the plugin use "javadoc" or "javadoc.exe" respectively from this
directory.

Specifies the maximum Java heap size to be used when launching the
Javadoc tool. JVMs refer to this property as the -Xmx
parameter. Example: '512' or '512m'. The memory unit depends on the
JVM used. The units supported could be: k,
kb, m, mb, g,
gb, t, tb. If no unit
specified, the default unit is m.

Specifies the minimum Java heap size to be used when launching the
Javadoc tool. JVMs refer to this property as the -Xms
parameter. Example: '512' or '512m'. The memory unit depends on the
JVM used. The units supported could be: k,
kb, m, mb, g,
gb, t, tb. If no unit
specified, the default unit is m.

Specifies that javadoc should retrieve the text for the overview
documentation from the "source" file specified by path/filename and
place it on the Overview page (overview-summary.html). Note: could be in conflict with <nooverview/>.
See overview.

Shuts off non-error and non-warning messages, leaving only the
warnings and errors appear, making them easier to view.
Note: was a standard doclet in Java 1.4.2 (refer to bug ID 4714350).
See quiet.
Since Java 5.0.

Specify the number of spaces each tab takes up in the source. If no
tab is used in source, the default space is used.
Note: was linksourcetab in Java 1.4.2 (refer to bug ID
4788919).
Since 1.4.2.
Since Java 5.0.

Splits the index file into multiple files, alphabetically, one file
per letter, plus a file for any index entries that start with
non-alphabetical characters. Note: could be in conflict with <noindex/>.
See splitindex.

Specifies the path of an alternate HTML stylesheet file.
The stylesheetfile could be an absolute File path.
Since 2.6, it could be also be a path from a resource in the
current project source directories (i.e.
src/main/java, src/main/resources or
src/main/javadoc) or from a resource in the Javadoc
plugin dependencies, for instance:

Specifies that Javadoc should retrieve the text for the Test
overview documentation from the "source" file specified by
path/filename and place it on the Overview page
(overview-summary.html).
See overview.

Specifies the text to be placed at the bottom of each output
file.
If you want to use html you have to put it in a CDATA section,
eg. <![CDATA[Copyright 2005, <a
href="http://www.mycompany.com">MyCompany,

Specifies the proxy host where the javadoc web access in
-link would pass through. It defaults to the proxy
host of the active proxy set in the settings.xml,
otherwise it gets the proxy configuration set in the pom.
